PRIORITY: Medium
ENCRYPTION: Medium
IDENTIFICATION: Wachmann Rolf Schönau
SOURCE: Brandenburg Base
SUBJECT: Patrol Report

Schönau reporting in. Apologies for the break in reports, headquarters. It's been a tough couple weeks, since the Alster Union took down two Warans and a Phantom under my care. I'm still getting over some nasty injuries sustained in those ejections, but I'll count myself lucky enough they didn't manage to snatch up my pod and feed me to starved dogs or something. My backed up scan data acquired on the patrols prior to then can be considered toasted. On to the current report.

I began my patrol out of planet Holstein, after my replacement fighter arrived planetside. I made my way up through the lanes to Hamburg and the Hudson gate as usual. I doubled back to New Berlin and made a loop around the trade lane network. With a lack of significant lane activity in New Berlin, I went back towards Frankfurt to check the Sigma-13 jump gate and to sweep through Munich. On the lanes between Mannheim and Mainz, long range sensors pinged back a ship, designation "Molloch", with an Outcast tag. I was too far away to get a lock on him, and he dropped off screen. I did a quick runabout in the area where I picked him up, but I couldn't find him. The only thing in the area he was likely to be headed for was the Bremen hole, so I got back on the lanes and rushed to Hamburg to see if I could cut him off at the Bremen anomaly in that system, if he decided to keep in Rheinland proper and not escape to New Hampshire.

Go figure, after a lengthy wait at the Hamburg-Bremen jump hole, he came through. He was an Outcast all right, a Rapier VHF. I immediately ordered him to cut his engines and was preparing to question him, but when he charged his cruise engines in preparation to escape, I promptly disrupted him. The mook responded by engaging me with guns and missiles. I didn't have a moment to spare to call for backup, so I fought back. The dogfight must have lasted about half an hour, and mein Gott my hands felt numb on the stick when it was over, but I narrowly managed to bring him down. My time putting hours in the flight sim is finally paying off, huh? Don't know how you career fighter jocks cope with the stress. [Kill confirmation: --- ]

I returned to planet Hamburg to get repairs (and a cigar, damn my nerves) and went back towards New Berlin for another loop around the lanes. Got scans on a few freelancer Sunbursts, an Interspace Commerce transport, everything on the up and up. At the New Berlin-to-Hamburg gate, though, I came across two White Shipping Company ships, a pair of Serenity transports. They were carrying premium scrap, but one of them didn't have any armament, so as a convoy they were still particularly vulnerable. As I'd escorted their ships before, I figured I'd give them cover on their way through Rheinland. Now this is where it gets fishy. They told me their destination was a WSC base in the Omega-11 system. To my knowledge, there is no such base in the registry. Furthermore, when we were in Dresden, instead of going to the Omega-11 jump hole, they went to the Omega-55 jump hole and went through. I followed them through to the other side, which I admit is leaving my area of duty, to remind them that they're going the wrong way, but they only comm'd back to say I was out of my jurisdiction and silently cruised off. They were right, so I turned around and headed back to Rheinland proper seeing as they weren't about to listen to me. Like I said, seems fishy.
